I am a multi-disciplinary designer with a background in Architecture and a passion for graphic design and Art. I graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2016 with an MA in Architecture (4.0GPA) and have since been working in architecture and design innovation practices in Edinburgh, Los Angeles, London and Turin.

I believe that everyone can grow the confidence to express themselves creatively and that artistic ability can be learned. As a designer and visual communication expert, I make it my goal to give my students the tools to build confidence in their ability to create art, communicate their ideas visually and to hone their own styles.

Beyond my professional background and formal education in design, I am passionate about all things related to the visual arts. I am qualified to teach drawing, painting, graphic design and photography up to the college level.

If you want to develop the skills that will help you become a visual communicator, develop as an artist or are interested in building a portfolio of work for your application to architecture or design school, then feel free to reach out to book an initial lesson!

Drawing

My competence in drawing and visual design stems from my professional experience working on building design teams within architecture practices and from my experience as a freelance visual designer, creating brand identities and other graphic design work, including logo design, stationery design, posters, social media graphics, email and packaging design, for clients across the globe. Outside of my professional work, I have honed my drawing skills through many years of life drawing.

Graphic Design

As a freelance graphic designer I have created brand identities and other graphic design work, including logo design, stationery design, posters, social media graphics, email and packaging design, for clients across the globe and across all sectors. My focus on brand identity has made me skilled at distilling a concept, or a set of brand values, to its essence and focus this into a recognizable and meaningful graphical mark. I am an expert in the Adobe Creative Suite.

A Portfolio Critique for an Upcoming Job Hunt

It was such a pleasure working with Peter! After developing my interior design portfolio for a while on my own, I felt like I needed some outside feedback before starting the application process, and I'm so glad I found Peter's profile. Communication from the start was straightforward, prompt, and friendly - making the whole process a breeze. We set up one video call, and the rest fell into place. Referencing his experience working for and applying to various architecture firms, Peter gave me some tips on improving my portfolio. His feedback not only helped me from a practical standpoint (regarding my layout, displayed skills, and types of projects), but it also helped me emotionally prepare for the job-hunting/career change challenge. His approach seemed to consider my particular situation and how I could best present my strengths, which is precisely what I had hoped for. The whole experience helped me feel ready for the next steps and got me to look at my portfolio from a fresh perspective. I absolutely recommend him as a tutor.

Very Thorough and Knowledgeable

Peter went over using gradients in photoshop. This was by far the very best session I have had with any tutor so far. I learned so much in this one session. I am looking forward to working with Peter in the future.

A+ Tutor

I requested that Peter help me with architectural sketching. He is very knowledgeable and good at explaining things. He's even taken the time to come up with a custom assignment for me to work on in between meetings. I look forward to taking more lessons with him!
